Time2Change Feed Service
Product Feed File

 
 

In order to upload your product data to Time2Change and have multiple feeds generated you will have to complete a Time2Change product feed file.
You can download an example file here.

We understand that you may have many thousands of products and completing the Time2Change feed template is a big job so we want to make this process as easy as possible for you. There are only a few mandatory columns in the Time2Change feed file However the more information you have in your feed file and the more accurate that information the more success you are likley to have marketing your products in shopping engines and auction sites.

If you already have a product database or existing feed file you will be able to use these to create a Time2Change feed file. Simply export your product data to a flat file ( a text file, for example a csv file ) or use your existing feed file and add a header ( or replace the existing header) to this file which maps your product data to the Time2Change feed attributes.

The Time2Change feed columns can be specified in any order and you can use any delimeter you wish to seperate the columns. The same delimeter should be used for the heading and the data.

If your product data contains values which do not correspond to any of the Time2Change feed columns then use the IGNORE column heading for these columns. The feed file can contain multiple IGNORE columns.
The columns are:
